Recently several regional air quality projects were carried out to support the negotiation under the Clean Air For Europe (CAFE) programme by predicting the impact of emission control policies with an ensemble of models. Within these projects, CITYDELTA and EURODELTA, the fate of air quality at the scale of European cities or that of the European c...

The simulation of the CI (cochlear implant) signal presents a degraded representation of each musical instrument, which makes recognition difficult. To examine the efficiency and effectiveness of three types of training on recognition of musical instruments as presented through simulations of the sounds transmitted through a CI. Participants were r...
This paper demonstrates that atmospheric inversions of CO2 are a reliable tool for estimating regional fluxes. We compare results of an inversion over 18 days and a 300 × 300 km2 domain in southwest France against independent measurements of fluxes from aircraft and towers. The inversion used concentration measurements from 2 towers while the indep...
ESA's Rosetta mission is currently en route to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, where it will arrive in 2014. Among the instruments onboard, the Langmuir probe instrument LAP of the Rosetta Plasma Consortium can be expected to be particularly sensitive to early activation of the comet, as it can detect small plasma density changes even at the very ...
To stay competitive internationally, the Swedish forestry sector must increase its productivity by 2 to 3% annually. There are a variety of ways in which productivity can be increased. One option is to develop remote-controlled or unmanned machines, thus reducing the need for operator intervention. Another option—and one that could be achieved soon...

The present work focuses on the application of a pyrolysis model, with enthalpy as basic variable, in numerical simulations of pyrolysis of dry and wet charring materials, as well as non-charring materials. In case of wet charring materials, the moisture first flows out after evaporation, leaving dry virgin solid material. This material then furthe...
Integration of simulated and observed states through data assimilation as well as model evaluation requires a realistic representation of soil moisture in land surface models (LSMs). However, soil moisture in LSMs is sensitive to a range of uncertain input parameters, and intermodel differences in parameter values are often large. Here, the effect ...
A model for the block-like copolymerization via continuous supported ATRP was developed, enabling the calculation of the sequence distributions of the different monomers as a function of chain length in continuous flow reactors. Polydispersity indices, copolymer compositions, and complete molecular weight distributions could be predicted. The model...
